Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning the Trolley
Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease
and enables equipment to function at its optimum.
Steam cleaning with a suitable cleaning additive is the most
effective method. Although sealed, avoid spraying directly
onto the electrical components. The same results may be
achieved by using a sponge and mild detergent soap mixed
in warm water. For particularly grimy cases, especially if
the trolley has been in storage for a long period, it may be
necessary to first wash the trolley with a water soluble solvent
soaked cloth prior to using soap and water.
Once cleaned, dry the trolley with a soft towel, paying
particular attention to swivel and sliding joints. If a compressed
air hose is available, you may find that compressed air jets
are more effective in drying the hard-to-reach places. Once
the trolley is dry, you may wish to apply a liquid car wax to
polished surfaces.
7.2 Disinfecting and Cleaning the Trolley
Wipe all surfaces with disinfectant. Follow the disinfectant
manufacturer’s instructions for application method and
contact time. Ferno recommends you inspect the trolley for
damage as you clean and disinfect it.
1. Remove the mattress, restraints and any accessories.
2. Hand clean all surfaces of the trolley with warm water and
a mild detergent.
3. Rinse with warm, clear water. Dry the trolley with a towel
and allow it to air-dry thoroughly, replacing the mattress and
harness/restraints prior to storage.
4. To disinfect: Apply disinfectant to the trolley, following
the disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions for application
method and contact time.
7.3 Disinfecting and Cleaning the
Mattress and Restraints
Remove the restraints from the trolley. Disinfect and clean
only as directed in the restraint user manuals provided with
the restraints. Additional, free user manuals can be obtained
from Ferno Service Department.
7.4 Lubricating the Trolley
Disinfect and clean the trolley before applying lubricant. Use
the lubricants designated below to lubricate the trolley. Do not
lubricate points marked with the “do not lubricate” symbol.
Your Ferno Harrier LT/LT-LBS trolley will work efficiently
and safely only when it is well lubricated. You MUST
lubricate all moving and sliding parts after every inspection
or preventative maintenance programme, or if there is
inadequate lubrication for the moving parts to operate easily
and quietly.
In general terms, almost all sliding and moving parts may
be lubricated with light duty grease. A penetrating fluid
lubrication is used on some sliding parts of the trolley.
However, when a penetrating fluid lubricant is used, all
excess
MUST
be wiped away, to prevent any build-up of
dust or grime which can clog up working parts and impede
movement.
Do not Lubricate
Lubricate
IMPoRTAnT
Lubricating parts that should not be lubricated allows
dirt and foreign particles to collect on those parts,
resulting in damage. Lubricate
only
the numbered
reference points shown.
